IMPROVEMENT IN CUFF-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,158, dated June 3, 1879 application filed April 18, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. DORING, of Troy, in the county of Renssclaer and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ouff-Holder, of which the followingis a specification:

My invention relates to a hook and clasp adapted for attachment to a shirt sleeve or lining of a coat or cloak, and for receiving the cuff and permitting its adjustment, as required.

The invention consists in a certain construction of the clasp and its attaching hooks, whereby the device is rendered more effective and convenient for use, as will be described in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a face View of the cuff-holder. Fig. 2 is a sectional view, showing the holder attached to a coat-lining and with a cuff inward, and brought together beneath loop a, and the extreme ends extending beyond the loop are bent down and back, to form the books I) b. The ends are then pointed. The bight of the loop ais bent slightly upward, to facilitate entering the edge of a cuff.

The two sides of the holder, formed by the is thus held against movement in either direction. The cuff is then inserted, as shown, and will be held securely in place, so that it is not likely to become misplaced, but may be quickly and readily removed.

The holder can be readily connected or removed. The hooks are covered by the lining, and cannot catch in the other clothing.

This invention dispenses with the use of catch-pins, buttons, and button-holes for at-- taching ends. The construction renders the holder convenient for use and durable, and, the loop being long, the cuff may be adjusted to expose more or less of the edge, and no special care is required in locating the holder.

Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 7 cut- The improved cuff -l1older A, of a single piece of wire, having a twisted loop, a, and at taching-hooks b b, formed by bending its free ends backward, all substantially as shown and described.
